The Royal National Hotel
5/5 Excellent
Nice hotel in fab location
"Lovely hotel which we will use again. Our room was far bigger than expected (standard plus double) and it looked to have been recently renovated. It's in a really good location; easy walk from Kings Cross and close enough to walk to Oxford Street etc. Good choice at breakfast and despite us going at what was meant to be the busiest time, we were seated straight away and didn’t have to queue to get food. As others have said, it doesn't have air-con in the rooms however lots of hotels don't. The hallways are also a little dated but this didn’t impact our stay. "
